Description

All-New Bronson MTB Frame

The all-new Bronson is designed for riders who thrive on steep, technical terrain and prioritize agility over sheer rolling speed. With influences from the latest MX bikes, the Bronson offers a finely balanced ride that is both intuitive and bold, pushing the limits of Santa Cruz's renowned VPP suspension system.

Key Features:

  • Optimized VPP Suspension:

    • Lower Link Design: The lower VPP link is positioned forward and low, optimizing anti-squat characteristics to deliver a plush, responsive ride. This setup provides an open, comfortable ride feel, even in challenging conditions.
  • Size-Specific Chainstays:

    • Balanced Geometry: The Bronson features longer chainstays that are specifically matched to each frame size. This ensures that riders of all sizes experience the same balanced and stable geometry, enhancing control and confidence on the trails.
  • Internal Cable Routing:

    • C Carbon vs. CC Carbon: On the C Carbon frames, the drivetrain cables are routed internally, providing a clean and sleek look. The CC Carbon frames further refine this with only the dropper post and rear brake cables routed internally, reducing cable clutter and enhancing the aesthetic.

Suspension feels far superior to

"Suspension feels far superior to my Bronson V2. The bike performs well in chunky rock gardens. The V4 does a great job of absorbing bumps. Was enjoying my new bike until the rear DT Swiss 240s hub failed on the second ride. Currently waiting for DT Swiss to warranty the hub. Spoke to a local Specialized bike dealer who said this has been an issue with DT Swiss equipped Turbo Levo bikes. Looking forward to getting back on the bike after the issue gets resolved."

2 weeks of hard riding. . . have

"2 weeks of hard riding. . . have prob a doz sessions in at the local trails/bike park. Mostly flow trails & Jump trails. More bike than I need but doesn't needlessly hinder me in climbing either. Pedals hard when seated and in position. Bike has great balance and "knows what to do". Been out of the game for 5+ years and have loved getting back in shape w/ this bike. Killer build and zero complaints so far. I am 6'3" 245#. . . had to add air to rear shock from the stock RS recommendations. . . . I think I am at 260psi now. Super happy w/ the bike and Cambria."

I recently took this Santa

"I recently took this Santa Cruz Bronson 4. 0 Carbon out on a ride in Bend, and it was an absolute blast. The mixed wheel setup really shines — the 29" front wheel rolls over technical sections effortlessly and gives great confidence when charging downhill, while the rear stays playful and nimble. The build quality is what I’ve come to expect from Santa Cruz: solid, refined, and ready to ride hard. For the level of performance and craftsmanship, the Bronson offers an incredible value — you really feel like you’re getting a top-tier bike at a great price. I’ve been riding Santa Cruz bikes for over a decade now, and every time I throw a leg over one, I’m reminded why I keep coming back. The Bronson 4. 0 delivers everything I love: reliability, fun, and that unique Santa Cruz feel. Couldn’t be happier with it!"

What a bike!!

"Picked this up for my 12 year-old son, and it was instantly noticeable how well suited this bike is for him. The carbon CC frame is nice and light and the XT group set is amazing. If you’re thinking about buying this bike, just pull the trigger."

Brian M. (5/5)

Great bike, great Price. Only

"Great bike, great Price. Only funny thing about it is they shipped it with an E-Bike specific fork for a 5'0 115lb rider. Definitely less than ideal but she loves it anyway"

Martin T. (5/5)

These guys were great. They

"These guys were great. They were super responsive, answered all my questions and I got a smoking deal on an amazing bike. The bike came within days in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend and use them in the future. Thanks team for helping get me on my new dream bike."

Amber R. (5/5)

Amazing

"Absolutely phenomenal bike, especially for the price. Very light weight for how capable it is. Only issue I had was the bike came with a Maxxis DHF 29x2. 3” front tire (white label) despite the listing stating it should have a DHR 29x2. 4” (yellow label). Minor detail, but I’d prefer the DHR."

Espen (5/5)

Great bike, great price.

"Love my new Bronson, especially at the price I paid. This V4 is a bit more trail oriented than the new one which suits me better. Best part was getting the whole bike for less than the msrp of the frame."

Great Kids Bike

"Took me a while to pull the trigger on the XS Bronson, but I'm glad I did. Picked this bike up for my 12 yo, who is still a couple of inches below the recommended height. We swapped out to 155 mm cranks, a 32 mm stem, and took off the dropper for a standard post so he has room on the downhill. It's an absolute game changer of a bike."

JP S. (5/5)

Great purchase experience

"No issues with order at all. I received the bike I ordered, in the correct size, and for an astounding price. I would recommend purchasing from Cambria bikes. They respond to emails not so much the phone. So if you need to contact them use the email and they get back to you quickly. I hope they can help me out with the front hub wheel spacer that is missing. Not their fault, could be mine."

Q&A

What is the max Rider weight on the XL?
Hello. The max weight is typically 250 lbs as specificized by the manufacturer.
Does the bike in Size Large also come with a Fox 36 Fork?
It actually came with a lyric base fork
What year model is this frame? Does it have the storage box?
2022 bronson cc frame. Dose not have in frame storage
HI I want to confirm that this is build is the CC frame, the picture clearly shows C but the listing says CC
It is the CC frame, as all cables are routed internally.
I'm considering purchasing a Santa Cruz Bronson from your store and wanted to check a few things about assembly. What parts of the bike will I need to assemble after unboxing? Are the brakes pre-bled, or will I need to add/adjust the brake fluid? Will the derailleur and brakes be pre-adjusted, or should I expect to fine-tune them? thank you
Hello Ivan, The bikes are assembled and inspected for issues before they are repackaged in manufacturer packaging for shipping. When the bike arrives it will have the brake lines, dropper and shifters hooked up and pre-tuned. The wheels, fork, handlebars will be removed and the rear derailleur will also be unmounted from the frame and hung between the rear triangle to protect it from damage. All of these parts will need to be reinstalled to the proper torque specs.
